Pudhina Thuvaiyal:(Tamil Nadu Style)
Ingredients:
Coconut grated 1/4 cup
Mint leaves 1-2 cups
Cilantro 1/2 bunch
Curry leaves from few twigs
Salt
Tamarind 1/4 spoon
Ginger 2″ grated
Garlic 4 cloves minced
Urad dal 1 table spoon
Coriander seeds 1 table spoon
Dry red chilies chilies 5
Sesame oil few spoons.
For Tempering:
Sesame oil
Mustard seeds
Cumin seeds
Asafoetida
Chan+urad dal
Dry red chilies
Curry leaves.
Method:
Heat oil, in a wok. Fry coriander seeds and urad dal, once they are well roasted…add the other ingredients to it, continue frying. When they turn aromatic…blend and puree them.
Now, add the remaining oil in an iron wok(but I used the same non-stick, anyway). Add the puree to it…continue cooking over medium heat. Let this reduce and become heavy.
Temper the spices in hot oil and run this seasoning over the thuvaiyal made.
Serve this as a side dish for Birinji Saadham.

Malar, that sounds refreshing. But, what is thuviyal? Chutney? and is it eaten with dosa/idli or in rice.

Priya Mitharwal,
Thuvaiyal is much similar to chutney…while chutney is an instant relish for tiffin…this thuvaiyal can be stored on the counter top for more than a week, if proper care is given. This is served to go with plain steamed rice, or idlies and dosas. Its rich in fibre, aids good digestion. My mommy makes them, as a recovery dish after fever n cold. It initiates taste buds.
Thanks Malar for clarifying
Heei Sweety(Priya Mitharwal), you are welcome:)
